Philander Chaney, of New Salem, 
made his second delivery of Stark fruit 
trees at Baylis Friday and Saturday. 
The customers seemed well pleased and 
were several extra trees with 
eaou order, even small -orders. The 
/Stark Nursery, of which be is agent, 
has some very choice varieties—not 
common—such as. of apples, Delicious, 
King David, Stay man. Wine Sap. of 
plums, the Gold and Shiro. they have 
also a tine variety of pears, peaches, 
cherries, eto.; of small fruits. Cumber¬ 
land raspberry and other varieties, 
gooseberry, currents, grapes. orna¬ 
mental hedge, etc.

C. The Oquawka Journal says the 
Jake Bricker farm near Rozetta has 
U> Gc-nitian apple trees that are so 
heavily loaded that if nothing hap¬ 
pens io them beiwqt-n now and fall 
they will yield at least 150 bushels. 
That is something iiDiifual in Illinois 
this fall

il A traveling man whose route takes 
him to many cities in several states 
said to this editor the other day: 
“You have not the moat prosperous 
.town I know, but you do have mare 
|real pretty and well-behaved young 
girls than I ever saw in a city of near 
Lewi6town'e population. There must 
be something peculiar in the climate 
here, or in some other important 
feature of your city’9 environments.” 
The editor could only reply: “It’s 
been so for 60 years.”

Geo. W. Bailey holds the palm 
for potatoes. On Monday of 
this week, while plowing in his 
garden he plowed up a peek of 
Early Ohio potatoes that were 
planted last spring. They were 
not over six inches from the sur¬ 
face and are large and firm and 
as fine as any potato, that ever 
went on the table. —Carthage 
Republican. 

Gee. That’s nothing, we stuck 
a fork into a hill of potaloes yes¬ 
terday, which had been in the 
ground all winter, and eleven 
bushels ran out before we could 
stop up the hole. —Carthage 
Democrat. 


Charles Rico of Durham, came af¬ 
ter a load of lumber Wednesday and 
used, a aix 'horse toam. That is the 
most houses we have seen- hitched lu 
one regular team in. a>loug time It 
remi.nds one of the teams the freight¬

Donald Stewart showed us an old 
lion cage on his farm. It is U9ed as 
an oat bin . at present. "Van Am* 
berg’s Circus and Menagerie”, can 
be plainly read on it yet. Mr. Clark, 
who owned the farm before the 
Stewart’s, bought the cage from the 
old circus, forty or fifty years ago 
some say. Geo. Garrett. says the 
show had a riot with the sawmill men 
at Montrose and got all “whipped to 
pieces’’ and had to pull out for Carth¬ 
age in the night, at which lattec 
place Mr. Clark bought the cage. 
How about,-it Mr. Editor and when 
was it. We will venture that there 
is uot another rat bin like it in Han¬ 
cock county and probably not in the 
state.

The Lhnll of spring now runs along 
the backbone of the calf. He’ll buck 
and dance upon the mead and hoist 
his hinder calf. He’ll dream of bloom¬ 
ing clover fields and waving curly 
dock, gambol with his rigid tail stuck 
up at 6 o’clock. The blithesome 
meadow lark will sing the glories of 
the dawn and the robins will turn

On The Fence. 

I want to charm the mayor, 

And the corporation, too;« 

I waut to please the whiskey men, 
Yet keep the church in view. 

It’s business setose to suit the dry., 
And not offend the wet; 

So I’m going to trim between the 
two, 

-And suit em both, you bet, 

.0, it’s the fence for mine 
1 To save my precious skin; 

I’ll not come out,on either side, 

Till I see which one will win. 

Two years ago, I tried this .plan. 
But it did’ntseem to work; 

The whiskey.men looked doubtful. 

And the drys called me a shirk; 
But I’m satisfied the scheme is 
right, 

It’s got to Work, by Jing! 

So it’s “whoop-lutrray” for both of 
them - 

I’ll make the echoes ring, 

For it’s the fence for mine, 

I ll save my precious skin; 

And not declare for either side 
Till I see which one will win.

•^pressed that the Rec ord would im 
1*688 upon the people the need of each 
property owner and tenant looking 
pifter their premises and making them

it not only means health and cleanli¬

THE RUSHYILLE TIMES. 

—Rushvilie people who have visited 
the city cemetery this spring have noted 
and commented upon the tine work 
done there by Ross McKee, the sexton, 
and since the new addition has been 
put under fence it adds greatly to the 
attractiveness of the whole cemetery. 
Mr. McKee has just completed the job 
of building 130 rods of wire fence, and 
he has seeded the two plowed ridges on 
the south to oats and clover to keep 
down the weeds. •

Some Cleaner Anyhow. 


The clean-up day got many an 
old can, bottle, broken dish, etc., 
off the streets and alleys. There 
were some who took the notice 
lightly and did not prepare the 
the junk for hauling, but. most, re¬ 
sidents appreciate the effort of the 
town board and gathered up the 
rubbish ip convenient places. 


West Point is as modern a town, 
the size being considered, as can 
be found in- this section of the 
state. We boast of having bet¬ 
ter side walks and more concrete 
or^es than any town of this size 
in Hancock or the surrounding 
counties’. When a stranger comes 
to town town we take him around 
to see “our’’ electric light plart 
and boast on what good service 
they are giving us. 

A few clays ago a gentleman 
went to a rcclsidence in this town 
and seeing ai: electric light 
switch beside the door, took it to 
be a door bell attachment. No 
amount of turning would get any 
response, so he finally knocked 
on the door. 

OALLAS CITY REVIEW 

J. E. Williams county superintend¬ 
ent of schools, was a visitor to our city 
Thursday and made us a pleasant call. 
Mr. Williams is a candidate for re¬ 
nomination as will be seen by an an¬ 
nouncement in another column. Dur¬ 
ing his administration of that office he 
has builded up the schools of the coun¬ 
ty in a moat favorable manner. He 
has also started in to lfcaro the rising 
generation bow to raise corn; and if 
through his efforts the yield of corn in 
Hancock county could be raised ten 
bushels per acre his name would be 
handed dowu to future generations.

other attraction than to meet a sober,

The city council at its meeting: 
Monday night, decided to permit the 
children to skate on the sidewalks 
with their roller skates within a 
block of the business section. This 
is the right thing to do, as it to 
healthful exercise for the youngsters 
but they should not take advantage 
of the privilege by monopolizing the 
walks. The council also voted to 
contract for the purchase of cement 
for the construction of walks this

Won’t Mix. 


With all the splended advice 
which has been written about the 
’’uplift of the farmer" there has 
not been much of an uncompli¬ 
mentary character; and yet the 
following probably represents the 
views of many a fa^-seeing far¬ 
mer. 

"If city people think things are 
So all-fired fine on the farms," 
writes Mr. Benning, a South 
Dakota Farmer, "why don’t they 
pack up and try it? Attractions 
of farm life are dreams, and no¬ 
body has them except city folks, 
Life on the farm is hard work 
year in and year out, and nobody 
but a millionaire could get any¬ 
thing else out of it. If I had 
money enough I could enjoy life, 
in the meanwhile the farm would 
go to pot. But I want to tell you 
that if I had money enough to 
enjoy life on a farm I would go 
to the city to do it. And I reck¬ 
on that if all the farmers in this 
country came into possession of 
such an amount of money at the 
same time there woul'd’ntbe pop¬ 
ulation enough left in three weeks 
to bring the Cows home. 

And about this transfer of lab¬ 
or from thefactories to the farms; 
it will never take place. I hired 
a young man who was a clerk in 
a wholesale drug establishment. 
His job wasn’t agreeing with his 
health and he decided to become 
a farmer. Now, the country is 
no place for broken down human¬ 
ity unless they have money e- 
nough to pay their board, and 
even then salt meat in hot water 
is likely tp disturb their digestive 
organs. This young man I hired 
had to work for his living. He 
had the grit, too, and stuck to 
his task in the field until he fell 
of exhaustion, and we never 
knew there was anything the 
matter with him. 

I got the doctor, and he sent 
the clerk back to the city. He 
told him the only work he was fit 
for was store work. And not 
only that, but the young man 


pined for excitement all the time 
he was at my place, and I could 
see with half an eye that he 
would’nt keep at farming. 

It’s fine talk the people are 
making who want to uplift the 
farm, but they have got in the 
wipng stall. The only way coun¬ 
try life could be improved would 
be to do away with about half 
the work. I don’t think that is 
possible- Farm work is different 
from other work. It takes more 
time. Machinery has made a 
great change, but I don't believe 
there can be many more inven¬ 
tions that will reduce the a- 
mount of work. Cows must be 
milked and pigs must be fed. 
There will always be the haying 
in haying time and harvesting in 
harvesting time—too much work 
in the summer and plenty in the 
winter. 

My wife says she’s used to 
work and that’s why she Can stay 
on the farm. She says she 
doesn’t want to attend any art 
classes or play bridge. She says 
if she did want to play bridge 
and such things, she would go to 
the city to do it. 

It seems to me that it isn’t 
possible to improve country life 
by injecting city life into it. 
The two won't mix.

Helpful Citizens. 

Tbe most humble citizen cao be 
most helpful in building up the 
town add its business enterprises 
if be will When we see tbe goods 
piled up on our station platform 
from the mail order houses of tbe 
larger cities for our farmer friends, 
we wonder that it is sor Surely no 
mao owuing a farm within the trad¬ 
ing circle *of LaHarpe, but what 
knows tbe value of that farm is 
largely in being in close proximity to 
a good town. The better the town 
the greater value. is the land about 
it. We beaid of a bumble citizeo, a 
laborer, whose. iocome is not large, 
a6 he depends wholly upon bis skill 
and labor to carry on his contract 
work, yet this man turned in over 
$5 000 last year to our merchants. 
He got every dollar of his supplies 
from home dealers. He could have 
gone to other towns or to the city 
for his supplies, but he was and is 
patriotic enough to give support to 
home dealers and build up the towD 
and thereby enhance his own prop¬ 
erty values. This is no idle asser¬ 
tion but facts. The same patriotic 
concern from all the farmers aud 
others, wou ! d make our town almost, 
self-supporting and bring prosperity 
and profit to all. Tbe few dollars 
saved, if there is any saving, in buy¬ 
ing from borne,«is lost in the coDdi 
tlons which follow tbe trading f/om 
home habit. We know our mer ¬ 
chants oan peet all cotapetkioo’if 
given tbe opportunity. 


Not|so many years ago “farmer” 
was about as scornful a slang term 
as could be applied to anybody who 
blundered stumbled, or ‘‘got in bad.” 
But what would the average man in 
the streets say to-day if somebody 
shouted to him “You farmer?” 
Wouldn’t he throw his chest out and 
spring a smile as broad as if he owned 
a gold mine? He certainly would. 
The farmer doesn’t wear his hayseed 
in his hair any longer. He selIs it 
and buys ao automobile. And when 
doctor, lawyer, merchant, chief, point 
their finger at him and say, “You’re 
it,” he merely throws in the speed 
clutih and smiles back along the 
wind.

C. The Cuba baseball “Cubs” bave 
won everyone of tbe nine games 
played this season with teams from 
larger cities. Cuba is very proud of 
its triumphant athletes. Yet there 
would be a nice taste in the mouths of 
many excellent Cuba men and women 
if the boys would cut out tbe Sunday 
games. Pastor Zeller makes mis coo 
feseion aod very considerate appeal 
to members ofjiis church: 

• It has beeD reported (by people who should 
not attend Sunday base ball tbemselvest that 
some of tbe members of the Christian ebureb 
are found at tbe game .Sunday afternoons 
There Is no command In tbe New Testament 
which reads Keep holy tbe Sunday However 
we know that God has always required one 
seventh of our time for spiritual development 
and there Is certainly not much of that at a 
Sunday baseball game Sunday games are for 
people who make no profession of Christianity 
and they bring no shame to the church by at¬ 
tending Sunday baseball But my brother or 
sister lo*tbe church what Influence can you 
hope to exercise for Christ wlib your neighbor 
when pe knows you are out rooting for 
ball team on Sunday» Think It over' 

These are brave words for a pastor to 
bis recreant church member*

10 THE MIDST OF THE BATTLE I TURNED, 

(FOR THE THUNDERS COULD FLOURISH WITHOUT ME ) 
AND HID BY A ROSE-HUNO WALL, 

Forgetting the murder about me ; 

Pino wrote .from my wound, on the stone, 

IN MIRTH,HALF PRAYER , HALF PLAY'.— 

“send me a picture booh, 

Send me a song,today.” 



I SAW HIM THERE BY THE WALL 

WHEN 1 SCARCE HAD WRITTEN THE LINE 

IN THE ENEMY'S COLORS DRESSED 

AND THE SERPENT-3TRNDARD OF WINE 

WRITHING ITS WITHERED LENGTH 

FROM HIS GHOSTLY HANDS O'ER THE GROUND, 

AND THERE BY HIS SHADOWY BREAST 

THE GLORIOUS POEM I FOUND. 


THIS WAS his world-old cry : 

THUS READ THE FAMOUS PRAYER'. 

“ WINE .WINE ,WINE AND FLOWERS 
AND COP-BEARERS ALWAYS FAIR*" 

’TwAS A BooH, OF THE SNARES OF EARTH 
BORDERED (N GOLD AND BLUE , 

AND I READ EACH LINE TO THE WIND 
AND READ TO the Roses Too ; 

Ano they nodded their womanly heads 

AND TOLD TO THE WALL JosT WHY 
FOR WINE OF THE EARTH MEN BLEED, 

Kingdoms ano empires die.
